New world

From 2014 onwards I became more interested in marine life. I started off looking for sea creatures while turning boulders at low tide (rock pooling) along the coast of the Oosterschelde or Eastern Scheldt National Park in the Netherlands. All images are made on location using either a field studio or taking a white acrylic sheet, an underwater housing and underwater strobes below the surface. The inspiration came from the amazing Meet Your Neighbours project. The final images are composites made in Photoshop to showcase biodiversity or variation in the same species. More images in the new Oosterschelde image gallery on this site.

Nikon D800 and nikkor 105mm lens, sometimes with extension tubes for the smaller creatures. Field studio with multiple strobes or acrylic sheet and Ikelite sub strobes and underwater housing.
